Annette Trincher, LCSW

Are you overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions? Do they lead to behaviors that aren't serving you or are preventing you from living the best life possible? I have over 20 years of experience providing treatment to clients with a myriad of emotional, behavioral and/or cognitive issues. I specialize in assisting to gain emotional and cognitive control by finding the triggers that lead to reactive behaviors and helping to assess which coping skills to apply to avoid undesired reactions. You are the expert on yourself. So lets work together to understand what your strengths are and how to build skills to attain your goals.

I am Foundationally Trained by The Linehan Institute/Behavioral Tech. in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), (12/8/14-12/12/14). DBT adapts CBT to assist patients to deal with stress. This approach combines acceptance and change through the principle of dialectics. I have found my training invaluable in assisting clients to achieve personal harmony. I use the core DBT skill of Mindfulness to teach clients how to understand the internal dialogue that supports maladaptive behavior patterns. Such patterns are rooted in distorted beliefs and painful emotions. As a practitioner of mindfulness, I can't say enough about how it helps me to gain control over the patterns I engage in that lead to reactive states that do not serve me.
